Neither from the gnome-main-menu nor from a terminal. Trying to start it displays a message box stating that firefox is already running, but is not responding. Running ps -A | grep fire shows two instances of firefox. On closing the above messagebox by clicking OK, both instances disappear. Running firefox from a terminal as root works. While this firefox session is active, another one can be started as user. Neither /var/log/messages nor dmesg contain any hints.
